I was lucky enough to attend ATX Television Festival: Season 2 a little over a week ago, and as a thank you to the festival organizers and the panelists, and in honor of the event as a whole, I wanted to share some of my personal highlights from the weekend. Having attended the inaugural year […]

Tonight’s episode of Parenthood was truly wonderful, and wrapped up most of the season’s storylines without feeling rushed. Also, it could serve as a satisfying series finale if, by some chance, the show is not picked up for a fifth season. So much happened, so let’s get to it. I will be breaking down the […]
